[[WMG: The integrated circuit of [=InformedCostliness=]--which adds [[AppliedPhlebotinum [=MysticalOverclocking=]]] to Max's homegrown mainframe, Euclid--was designed to resemble the Kaaba.]]
Yes, '''that''' Kaaba: the [[ShrinesAndTemples black cubic structure]] around which Islamic pilgrims (on the Hajj) make seven circumambulations, hoping for a chance to kiss the [[MineralMacGuffin Black Stone]] as they pass.
